Chapter 347 is here
It's not quite true that it's a human head. To be precise, it should be a skull.
The skeleton is not a human bone. It shines with the luster of metal and is covered with countless inscriptions. It is strange and delicate, like a precious work of art.
Of course, the owner of this work of art didn't seem to cherish it too much. As soon as Yu Xing took a glance, the head was almost on his face, and the skull's mouth was open, as if it was roaring silently.
He subconsciously blocked it with the back of his hand and whipped the skull away. In the eyes of Carlos, who was following behind, there was a spherical object flying in the air. Yu Xing's slap changed its flight trajectory and hit the stone wall.
For a moment, both the Yu Xing and the three people, the bats flying in the air, and the people attacked by the bats were all silent. There was only the sound of skulls rolling down the stone wall and grunts rolling in the direction they came from.
"Damn, young hero, you are so skilled." The next moment, a slightly flat voice sounded. Yu Xing looked up and saw a man wrapped tightly in thick clothes among the bats. He looked at them as if he saw a savior, "No matter which path you are on, we are destined to meet each other. How about saving your life?"
As he was speaking, the bat also reacted, partially gave up attacking the man, and flew towards Yu Xing and the others.
It seems that now...it is necessary to deal with the bat first, whether to save his life or not, at least drive him away first.
Yu Xing raised his hand. The spray bottle was very heavy, which meant that it had a large capacity. He pressed the nozzle, and a burst of water mist covered the flying bats.
The bat screamed in horror and anger, the decibels were not high, but the frequency was sharp and harsh. Carlos made a dissatisfied sound and sprayed it at the bat together, even harder than Yu Xing.
"It's so noisy." He sprayed for a while, and then he stopped when he saw the bats flying back. "Tsk, the bats in this tomb are much larger than other tombs. It seems that there are some changes."
"Help me, friends!" The man over there was still surrounded by bats. I don't know how he did it. He didn't even have a bag, but he relied on thick clothes to resist the bats for a while. Even his head was covered with a hat. Covering his face, he covered his face with his arms and his voice was muffled.
“Can you help me?” Lin asked.
Yu Xing watched the man's embarrassed look for dozens of seconds indifferently. The man must have been running to weaken the bat's attack. After seeing them, he stopped where he was. He wanted to run but was unwilling to do so.
After all, someone is here. If he leaves again, he will still suffer the same fate of being chased by bats. It is better to wait for someone to save him.
Until the man looked like he could no longer resist and ran away, Yu Xing sighed: "Why do you ask this question? Of course you have to help. When the road is rough, draw your sword to help. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Isn't it a good virtue?"
Man: "...Yes, good virtue, brother, come quickly!"
Carlos felt Yu Xing's wilting, and sprayed the water mist at the man with a smile. Lin also helped. After a while, the bat flew away into the dark passage in the distance, leaving only a few A body "drowned" in water.
The man was finally liberated. He screamed and took off most of his clothes, revealing the jacket he was wearing. Yu Xing felt hot for him just looking at it.
Although it was cold and gloomy in the tomb, it was not so wrapped up that it felt like I was climbing a snow-capped mountain, almost turning into a ball.
"Thank you three brothers. Hehe, where did you come from?" The man finally figured out his image and turned his face. Yu Xing was startled. His eyes were wrapped in white cloth. He was actually a blind man?
"Before you ask us, since you have accepted our life-saving grace, you should at least be more conscious and report yourself to your family?" Carlos narrowed his eyes and deliberately tested the man's eyes. A prop gun appeared in his hand, maybe it was a magic prop. , he pretended to install a "silencer" and aimed it at the man.
The man didn't react at all. He smiled and said, “Yes, my name is Zheng Zhan, from Oster Company. Since you can come here, you must know our company, right?”
"You are from Oster Company, which is a legendary big company! Why are you alone? Also, are your eyes okay? Do you need help?" Yu Xing was "very concerned" about Zheng Zhan's Due to his physical condition, his tone was a bit exaggerated, for fear that Zheng Zhan wouldn't be able to hear his hypocrisy.
Hearing Yu Xing's voice, Zheng Zhan moved his head, as if to identify the direction, and then walked towards them.
"I'm fine. My eyes have always been like this. Hey, didn't you accidentally step on the space mechanism and be abandoned by the army? What about you?" He was originally about five or six meters away from the three of them, but now he has reached about three meters. Steady, not like a blind man at all.
Carlos raised the muzzle of his gun, and everyone heard a clear sound of loading.
Zheng Zhan paused, his face, one-third of which was covered by white cloth, still showing a somewhat frightened expression: "No way? Gun?"
"With the financial resources and strength of Oster Company, it shouldn't be difficult to get the gun, right? Why are you so surprised?" Carlos aimed at Zheng Zhan evilly, "Stop there and don't move, otherwise, you will have a brain injury. Oh~”
Zheng Zhan was silent for two seconds: "Why do I feel like I have just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den again. You don't sound like a good person."
Indeed, especially Carlos, when he threatens people, he has a mature villain temperament, just like when he kidnapped Zhou Qinghai in the Coffin Village deduction, Zhou Qinghai cast a huge shadow on him.
After he finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the skull that just rolled over from the ground: "I didn't want to approach you, look, I was just picking up my things."
The engraved skull was held by Zheng Zhan, with two black hole-like eyes "looking" at everyone. Yu Xing noticed that not only the skeleton, but also the nails of Zheng Zhan's index finger were covered with inscriptions, and the nails of his index fingers were covered with inscriptions. The blade is one-third longer than other fingers, and the tail end is pointed and looks very sharp.
Carlos noticed the terrifying power in Zheng Zhan's skull and the inscriptions on his fingernails, and asked with a smile: "You little blind man is very flexible. What do you rely on to find your way? Hearing?"
"How could it be? As soon as we arrived, he already knew that we were three people." Lin was more direct, he affirmed, "This person must be able to see, pretend to be blind, and have bad intentions."
"Hey, hey, you can't convict me of my crime with just a few words. Look at my cloth. It's so thick. Even if there's nothing wrong with my eyes, I can't see anything even if it's covered with it." Zheng Zhan objected quickly. "It's like this. I can't really see, but I can sense living things. When the three of you came, I could perceive three blurry images in my mind. So the big brother's smile made me feel fluffy. There was a gun in it, I really didn't know.”
He spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that Carlos would kill him with a shot. Seeing him like this, Yu Xing knew something: "Are you... an outsider?"
Zheng Zhan paused for a moment: "What kind of outsider? Of course those who go to the grave are outsiders, otherwise I can still be a dead body?"
"I can't help but deny it in a hurry. There is no one here who needs to be hidden." Carlos conveyed the information in a subtle way that these were all outsiders, and then said in a commanding tone, "Since you have fallen into our hands, don't even think about running away. Now, what needs to be explained clearly, we will send you safely to your company team, otherwise... Haha, do you think you would have just died in a pile of bats? "
Lin looked at Carlos in shock. In the past, he only knew that this man was crazy, did not play according to the routine, and often made some dangerous moves that the team at the tomb could not understand. He did not expect that his acting skills were so good. The danger in his tone It felt so good that even his teammate thought it was true.
Carlos is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Lin can feel it from the Feng Shui field, so he knows that Carlos is just scaring Zheng Zhan now.
But Zheng Zhan didn't know. He grimaced on the spot: “It turns out they are three of the same kind... I don't know whether this luck is good or bad. Even if I want to resist, I can't beat you three alone.”
"However, since we are outsiders, we should have no conflict of interest, right? Let me tell you straight, my mission is to find a human head in the demon tomb and feed it to my little man. This will not delay your mission. Right, I have no sense of belonging to Oster Company, you can do whatever you want, I will never stop you."
Zheng Zhan fully demonstrated what it means to be a hero who knows the current affairs. He was very logical. After quickly measuring the strength gap between the two parties, he chose a conservative approach, which was to temporarily cooperate.
"Your eyes should be more than just perception. Are they close enough for you to 'see'?" Yu Xing suddenly asked.
Zheng Zhan was surprised: "Oh! It's amazing. How did you know that?" "You took the opportunity of picking up your little man -" that's the skull, "to get closer to us. Once you get close to us, you can forget about it." A sneak attack can't make all three of us incapacitated at once, unless you are very confident in your melee strength."
Yu Xing said: "But you can't even drive away bats. 80% of your strength is not fighting, even if you have ultrshort weapons like nails. So, you are not approaching us to fight, so overall, it can only be a matter of distance." Shortening allows you to perceive more clearly, at least as clearly as you can see.”
"There is another reason. If you can't see the things around you, you won't be able to identify your way out when surrounded by the noise of bats. We came all the way, but we clearly heard the movement of the bat swarm. You are sneaking away. "They." Carlos put down his prop gun, and when he covered it with his fingers, the gun disappeared.
Zheng Zhan gave Yu Xing and Carlos a thumbs up: "Awesome, brothers, you are right, I really have no ill intentions, I just want to see what you look like and observe. After all, you are from other forces. , I didn't know you were outsiders just now, is this normal?”
"It's normal. So, we rescued you. You happen to be an outsider with no sense of honor in the company. So, is it not too much for us to ask you to have all the information on all the members of Oster's Tomb?" Carlos answered his words. asked rhetorically.
"Of course, of course, there are eleven of us going to the grave this time..." Zheng Zhan, surrounded by three "villains", leaked all the information about his company in a very useless way.
For example, they have discovered the types of mechanisms in this level of the tomb, the partial map that has been drawn, and how many people from Oster Company have come, and what their capabilities are...
"No, before my walkie-talkie failed, a total of five people including me left the team. Then I continued walking along the road, and suddenly I was surrounded by a large group of Aredia bats flying towards me. I didn't think about it. I provoked them, and then I ran all the way, and the walkie-talkie was broken. Actually, you came just in time, otherwise I would be alone." Zheng Zhan was a chatterbox, and after telling Yu Xing and the others the information they wanted, he started to pour out his bitter words.
“Have you drawn a map?”
“Did the walkie-talkie fail near here?”
“Your company relies on a man named Shen to survive?”
Three questions were raised by Lin, Carlos and Yu Xing respectively, interrupting Zheng Zhan's insistence without a "captured" attitude.
“Well, yes, that's right.” Zheng Zhan also answered them in three words.
Yu Xing raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Is Shen wearing a windbreaker?"
Zheng Zhan said: "Yes, have you met him? Speaking of which, I think he should be the key NPC in this reasoning game. It's a pity that I didn't have much contact with him."
The words were interrupted for a moment, and Yu Xing instantly understood that Zheng Zhan was a dedulator, not an experiencer.
Furthermore, Zheng Zhan also knew about the experiencer system. Since he was not sure about their identities, he turned around when he spoke.
He was cautious, but Yu Xing was not very interested in Zheng Zhan. He was more concerned about the meaning behind Zheng Zhan's affirmative answer.
The shadow he saw when he picked up the black suit doll was indeed a person from Oster Company, named Shen! Moreover, as a deducer, Zheng Zhan did not recognize Shen's identity, which meant that Shen was most likely not a famous deducer. According to Yu Xing's previous estimate of Shen's strength, Shen should be very strong.
Those who are strong will be famous. Unless Shen uses props that change his appearance and abilities, he is probably an experiencer.
Experiencer... no wonder I have no impression at all.
After Yu Xing guessed Shen's identity, he did not ignore another memory in his mind.
Two o'clock in Alice's Paradise, the old housekeeper, the arsonist.
He and Shen are indeed destined. Shen entered the Alice Paradise opened by him, and now they are close to meeting each other in the Demon Tomb Palace.
"He is not a key NPC, he is also an outsider." Yu Xing told Zheng Zhan about this with a trouble-making mentality, "The reason why he is so high-profile and different should be because his level is too high. "High, it's fundamentally different from our mission."
Zheng Zhan didn't ask him how he knew. Anyway, he was a prisoner now.
He didn't even know the faces or names of these three people.
"Shen, Zheng Zhan..." Carlos thought for a while. There were three outsiders in their team, and Oster Company should be the same. "Can you tell who else in Oster Company looks like an outsider?"
Zheng Zhan spread his hands and said, "You can't tell, I'm blind."
"If you can't see it, don't look at it. Take the trouble." Suddenly, at another corner, a cold voice came.
Carlos and Lin were shocked. They didn't even notice someone was coming!
Yu Xing's heart moved, and he realized that since Zheng Zhan was not allowed to approach them, the blind man had unknowingly stuck to the side of the stone wall, and the cold voice came from that side.
It seems that there is another passage behind the stone wall.
Zheng Zhan explained so much to them, but he was actually delaying time! I'm afraid he asked for help when he was surrounded by bats, and then he pressed against the wall to shorten the straight-line distance from the passage behind the wall in order to achieve the "perception" condition.
I'm afraid Zheng Zhan knew that someone was coming to rescue him just now, and he was still pretending to answer their questions here.
Sure enough, while Yu Xing analyzed a lot in an instant, Zheng Zhan happily greeted the visitor: "Shen~ I mentioned you just now. There is a brother here who seems to be very interested in you. Hurry, make friends with him. A friend?”
Making friends on the surface, the subtext is "beat him quickly, beat him quickly, beat him to death"!
"Shen?" Yu Xing's eyes lit up. Even though Zheng Zhan showed some malice, he still focused on Shen.
The sound of footsteps came slowly and unhurriedly.
A man in a coat walked out of the darkness and came to a place illuminated by a flashlight.
The delicate, doll-like face has lost part of its realism and is exaggeratedly pale.
The man looked very young, even younger than Yu Xing's apparent age. He seemed to be in his early twenties. He reached out and pushed up the silver thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and met Yu Xing's excited eyes.
"So happy?" Yu Fengchen did not follow Zheng Zhan's wishes and fight with people from other forces as soon as he appeared. Instead, he looked at Carlos, then at Yu Xing, and finally gave Yu Xing a faint smile.
